2025-2026 NFL Season Thread

[West E]

First NFL game i went to i realized that i really missed the play by play

[Batman1980]

My biggest qualms with going - the wait at half-time, drunken idiots ruining the experience and the travel time. At home you can watch the game, do other things during commercials, eat and drink whatever you want and take as many bathroom breaks as you need without standing in line.

I much prefer watching football from the comfort of my couch.

Generally the teams that get those aka jags cant sell out 8 home games anyways
+ its more $$ for the league that all the teams share
+ its more games on tv.

Hope cowboys rescind daks offer
Leave him hangin out there with nowhere to go haha
This season is screwed up anyways
Thatd be sooo cool.

I hope you Dak haters get your wish and we go 2-14 then we draft Trevor Lawrence and he's the next Ryan Leaf. Would be so vindicating.

Definitely prefer watching games at home, but I don't mind going maybe once a season.

But even though I'm not a huge baseball fan, I do prefer going to baseball games more than any other sport.

I enjoy the atmosphere of being at a stadium, but you definitely get a better game at home.

Yeah that’s the attitude of a true fan right there. Seriously though what has Rayne Dakota ever won for you guys? He’s a career loser in the playoffs (1-2 record), hasn’t reached the NFC title game ever, and thinks he should be paid like a younger and much better QB in Kansas City is.

Which even prior to winning the Super Bowl Mahomes had made an AFC title game (which his defense pissed away). Plus he’s more accurate than Dak, and has less of a run game to help him on offense (try comparing Damian Williams to Zeke), and a weaker o-line protecting him.

[Rodney-2187]

RIP Don Shula. Nobody won more games. May the Force be with you.

[BizCat]

I do like to go to at least one game per season. And I also like to visit other stadiums.

But yeah, I do love my recliner...

I don't agree with paying Dak more than $35 million a year but I also see the flip side - Mahomes is going to rewrite history by a considerable margin when he re-signs.

Dak is not the problem in Dallas. Overpaid Zeke and perpetually useless Garrett held this team back far more than an over achieving 4th round pick who was making peanuts on his rookie deal.

Eli was 117-117 & won 2 super bowls.
Dont need a $40m qb.

Wait so a guy that ran for 1,357 yards, and scored 12 TDS is the problem? Or the fact in two of the prior three years he’d led the league in rushing yards? Or how about the fact he caught 54 of that average at best QBs passes last year?

Dak is the problem in Dallas, and his inability to beat even halfway decent teams shows that. As for overachieving fourth round QBs that’s hilarious. Especially considering what a former sixth round pick did for New England for two decades.

I'm not going to get into it lol, I've had enough Dak debate on the Cowboys forum since 2016 to last me a lifetime. People either like him or they don't. People either like the most overpaid runningback ever or they don't.

Parting note on Zeke - so glad we paid him $108 million to go 8-8. Where would we have been without him and his 13 carries for 47 yards in that win or go home game against the Eagles in week 16?

Still don’t understand why Jerry paid his RB before his QB. Didn’t make sense at the time, and it makes even less sense now.

I’ll respect you not wanting to get into it, but quit throwing shade at Zeke. A real Cowboys fan wouldn’t do that BS.

He wasn’t even close to being the most overpaid running back in the league last year (LeVeon Bell, David Johnson, and Todd Gurley all say hi) let alone of all time. But hey bash a guy that most teams would kill to have as their starter (which can’t be said of your POS QB. I may not like Daniel Jones, but I’d take him over Rayne any day).

Jerry puts personal relationships first. Seems to be closer with Zeke than Dak.
